Player Notes
October 10, 2008
The mother of Phillies manager Charlie Manuel passed away this morning, according to the L.A. Daily News.

Our View:Despite this, Manuel is still expected to manage the team in Game 2 of the NLCS.
October 7, 2008
Despite probably receiving a large raise in arbitration, the Philadelphia Phillies will not be trading first baseman Ryan Howard this season, according to Buster Olney of ESPN.com.

Our View:There had been speculation that because Howard will probably set a record for the highest arbitration ever awarded that the team would look to move him, but that does not seem to be the case.
October 5, 2008
Ryan Howard went 0-for-3 on Sunday with a walk, a run scored and a strikeout for the Phillies who are moving on to face the Dodgers in the NLCS.

Our View:In four games in the first round Howard had just one RBI while going 2-for-11 (.182) at the plate. The club will certainly need a better effort from their enormous slugger if they hope to move on to the World Series.
October 4, 2008
Ryan Howard went 2-for-4 and registered the Phillies' lone RBI in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Brewers in Game 3 of the NLDS at Miller Park. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:Philadelphia still leads the best-of-five series 2-1, and Howard recorded his first RBI of the postseason in the loss.
October 3, 2008
MLB.com reports that twice in this NLDS, the Brewers have intentionally walked Ryan Howard with a man on second base and first base open. Twice, they have unintentionally walked him with no one on base. And though so many free passes may seem to be an unnecessary precaution, the strategy has worked. "It's still a little bit frustrating," Howard said of the way the Brewers have pitched around him. "But having gone through it, you have the understanding for it. You know how to deal with it."

Our View:Howard hit .352 with 11 home runs and 32 RBIs, coming through for the Phillies in nearly every critical situation. Expect teams to continue and pitch around the slugger for the remainder of the playoffs.
